Youth Empowerment Program Initiative

Youth Empowerment Program Initiative Where your dreams become aspirations and your aspirations become achievements—that is the YEPI's experience.

YEPI is a non-political and non-profit organization that Empowers youth and women with Business and Entrepreneurship in an effort to addresses unemployment, poverty and violent Extremism in the Coastal Region of Kenya. Since our founding, we haven’t wavered from our promise:

Our youths, along with a handful of other dedicated volunteers, started the organization in order to offer free training in business skills accessible to our youths who are most at risk for unemployment and poverty: the orphaned, unskilled, disabled, single parents, and court-involved youth. A key assumption underlying YEPI’s work is that all individuals deserve the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential, regardless of disability, economic status, family circumstances or prior history. YEPI’s approach to offering training is within a context of supportive services that enable trainees to overcome typical barriers to achievement. We are YEPI, where curiosity finds inspiration; where selflessness becomes service; where small individual encourage others; where creativity and innovation open doors and change lives; and where diversity enriches us all.

We were excited to partner with the Influence Exchange on a powerful debate forum centred on youth economic inclusion through entrepreneurship and employment.

Hearing the diverse perspectives shared during the debate reminded us that a thriving economy is built on balance — a hybrid system where both entrepreneurship and employment grow side by side.

As part of YEPI’s commitment to strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem, we encourage women entrepreneurs to apply for the Women and Girls Accelerator Program - WGAP Kenya
